Ten great vocal renditions of standards, backed by a solid quartet of seasoned musicians, recorded "live" in the studio.
Bio / Background
David Ford has been singing most of his life. As a young child in Memphis, he entertained his Mom with imitations of Elvis. The public school system and church choir provided his most formal vocal instruction. Music was always encouraged around his home. His Dad played clarinet and had a great collection of big band records. Some of the songs he enjoys performing now were on those records. As with a lot of guys his age, he was in a rock/soul band in high school that rehearsed diligently but only actually played two parties.
During college he began hanging out with a lot of local blues musicians, learning a lot about the music and other things. A few years later he focused more on the jazz side of music. He was fortunate to have met and worked with some really great musicians during these years. He moved to North Hollywood in 1984 and, although he saw some of the same musicians and met others, he was no longer performing.

While bartending at The City Club in Santa Clarita, CA in ’94, he began singing with some of the entertainers working there. This led to a regular Sunday afternoon jazz standard gig and occasional other gigs. After a few years, things slowed down again and he rarely performed anywhere until 2003, when he started another Sunday evening standard gig at Salt Creek Grille in Valencia. He continues to sing there now, which is where he met the musicians on this CD.
This CD was recorded on two consecutive days in two five hour sessions at Munchkin Studios in Newhall, CA. The goal was to keep the feeling of live interaction within the controls of the studio. The drum kit was in a booth, as was the Steinway piano. The guitar, bass, vocal and engineer were all in the control room. Most tracks were done in two or three takes. The only overdub is the vocal on “I Wish You Love”, which was done the next week.
Recording, mixing, and mastering were done by Frank Josephs
